Chapter 12. Maintenance
A Red Hat Satellite requires periodic maintenance. This chapter discusses administrative functions outside of standard use, including how to apply patches to the Red Hat Satellite Server.
12.1. Managing Red Hat Satellite with rhn-satellite
Red Hat Satellite consists of several individual services. Red Hat provides a command line tool (
rhn-satellite) to stop, start, or retrieve status information from these various services. This tool accepts all of the standard service commands:
/usr/sbin/rhn-satellite start /usr/sbin/rhn-satellite stop /usr/sbin/rhn-satellite restart /usr/sbin/rhn-satellite reload /usr/sbin/rhn-satellite enable /usr/sbin/rhn-satellite disable /usr/sbin/rhn-satellite status
Use
rhn-satellite to control Red Hat Satellite's operation and retrieve status messages from all services at once.
Where did the comment section go?
Red Hat's documentation publication system recently went through an upgrade to enable speedier, more mobile-friendly content. We decided to re-evaluate our commenting platform to ensure that it meets your expectations and serves as an optimal feedback mechanism. During this redesign, we invite your input on providing feedback on Red Hat documentation via the discussion platform.
